Recent reports have highlighted a significant lack of communication between President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and the Chief of U.S. Border Patrol, Ortiz, during a crucial period of border policy management. Despite Vice President Harris being appointed as the border czar in January 2021, tasked with overseeing the administration's border policy and addressing the border crisis, it has been revealed that neither President Biden nor Vice President Harris had any meetings with Ortiz from August 2021 to May 2023. This revelation has sparked criticism and concerns over the administration's handling of border issues, with critics labeling the situation as a failure of leadership and an example of political malpractice over the two-plus years. The lack of engagement with Ortiz, who served during a time when the border was a focal point of national debate and policy, has led to questions about the effectiveness and priorities of the Biden administration in managing border security and immigration.
